Profit split: how much of your profit you really keep
The profit split is the share of profit you get to keep. The headline number is only part of it, though: how often you're paid, add-ons and fees all play a role.
What's typical
Most firms start you at 80%. Some pay 85% or 90% from day one, and a few let you reach 100% through scaling or a paid upgrade.
Upgrades and scaling
Many firms offer a higher split at checkout, usually for 10–20% more on the fee to get 90%. Others raise it automatically after a few payouts or as your account grows.

What ends up in your account
Payouts are in US dollars, so your bank or e-wallet will convert them to pesos. Keep an eye on transfer fees from services like Rise and on crypto network fees.
Is a higher split always better?
Not if it comes with tougher rules or a pricier fee. A firm paying 80% with a static drawdown can leave you with more money than one paying 90% with a trailing limit you keep hitting.
